Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cauliflower. This will help to prevent the cauliflower from breaking apart when you're cooking it.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower. Cook it just until it's tender, about 5 minutes. Overcooking will make the cauliflower mushy.
  • Use a good quality curry paste. The curry paste is what gives the curry its flavor, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a curry paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking. If you like your curry spicier, add more curry paste or chili powder. If you like it milder, add more coconut milk or yogurt.
  • Serve the curry with your favorite sides. Rice, quinoa, or naan bread are all good options.

Conclusion:

This cauliflower tofu curry is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy curry recipe, give this one a try.
